## What is CVE-2022-49963?

CVE-2022-49963 is a high-severity vulnerability in Linux kernel, published on 18 Jun 2025. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.

### Official description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/i915/ttm: fix CCS handling

Crucible + recent Mesa seems to sometimes hit:

GEM_BUG_ON(num_ccs_blks > NUM_CCS_BLKS_PER_XFER)

And it looks like we can also trigger this with gem_lmem_swapping, if we
modify the test to use slightly larger object sizes.

Looking closer it looks like we have the following issues in
migrate_copy():

  - We are using plain integer in various places, which we can easily
    overflow with a large object.

  - We pass the entire object size (when the src is lmem) into
    emit_pte() and then try to copy it, which doesn't work, since we
    only have a few fixed sized windows in which to map the pages and
    perform the copy. With an object > 8M we therefore aren't properly
    copying the pages. And then with an object > 64M we trigger the
    GEM_BUG_ON(num_ccs_blks > NUM_CCS_BLKS_PER_XFER).

So it looks like our copy handling for any object > 8M (which is our
CHUNK_SZ) is currently broken on DG2.

Testcase: igt@gem_lmem_swapping
(cherry picked from commit 8676145eb2f53a9940ff70910caf0125bd8a4bc2)

## Fix prompt for AI coding agents

```text
Check this codebase for CVE-2022-49963 and fix it if it is affected.

What it is: CVE-2022-49963 is a high-severity vulnerability in Linux kernel, published on 18 Jun 2025. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.
Exploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2022-49963 in the wild and no public exploit code.

Affected product: Linux kernel. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.

Task:
1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.
2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.
3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.
4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.
5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.
